Choir USA
Stanford Talisman Acapella 2013, "Bayan Ko" and "Pilipinas kong mahal" Arranged by Robi Bucayu.
"Bayan Ko" (usually translated as "My Country"; Spanish: Nuestra patria, lit. 'Our Fatherland') For the 1984 film,This Is My Country (film) is one of the most recognizable patriotic songs of the Philippines. It was written in Spanish by the revolutionary general José Alejandrino in light of the Philippine-American War and subsequent American occupation, and translated into Tagalog some three decades later by the poet José Corazón de Jesús.
The song, which is a kundiman, is often considered the unofficial second national anthem of the Philippines, and is sometimes sung by Overseas Filipinos groups after the Lupang Hinirang or by itself. It is sometimes assumed to be a folk music because of its popularity, and due to the nature of its lyrics it has been used as a protest song by different political groups at various points in Philippine history.
History
Origin
The Spanish lyrics of Bayan Ko were originally written for the Severino Reyes zarzuela, Walang Sugat ("no wound"). Attributed to the propagandista, General José Alejandrino, the song expressed opposition to the ongoing American Occupation. The popular and mainly used 1929 Tagalog version is attributed to José Corazón de Jesús, and the music to Constancio de Guzmán.
Protest song during the Marcos dictatorship
Bayan Ko regained cult popularity during the Marcos dictatorship, with protesters singing their own version in protests. After President Marcos imposed Martial Law in 1972, the song was deemed seditious. Public performances of the song were banned, with violators facing potential arrest and detention. People were emboldened to sing it at the 1983 funeral of Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. and the ensuing 1986 People Power Revolution, where Freddie Aguilar led crowds in singing.
Post-EDSA People Power (1986-present)
Since the 1986 Revolution that toppled the Marcos government and ushered in the Fifth Republic, the song has been associated with anti-government protests. In February 1987, a cover by pop singer JoAnne Lorenzana was launched as part of a nationalistic campaign by PLDT, and was aired on radio and television for the first anniversary of the Revolution.
On 1 August 2009, Bayan Ko was sung as the recessional of the noon Mass at EDSA Shrine, ending the quarant'ore for Corazón Aquino. The service, originally intended to pray for the former leader's recovery, was instead done to mourn her sudden death early that morning. Crowds sang it again during the transfer of her remains from La Salle Green Hills to Manila Cathedral on 3 August for the lying in state. At the Requiem Mass on 5 August, Lea Salonga sang it as the recessional while Aquino's casket was borne out to the Cathedral steps. A military band repeated it as the flatbed hearse carrying the casket and honor guard began the hours-long funeral procession. Mourners sang Bayan Ko for the last time with several hymns as Aquino's casket was entombed beside her husband at the couple's mausoleum in Parañaque.
A month later, British all-male chorale group Libera sang Bayan Ko as an encore to their first Philippine tour in Cebu and Manila. Moved by the performance, the audience sporadically applauded throughout the group's performance. As part of their Summer Philippine tour the following year, Libera gave an encore performance on the hit noontime variety programme, Showtime on 14 April 2010.
The University of the Philippines Madrigal Singers sang Bayan Ko during the inauguration of President Benigno Aquino III and Vice-president Jejomar Binay on 30 June 2010 at the Quirino Grandstand.
In 2016, the song figured in nationwide protests in the aftermath of the burial of former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.The song has figured in nationwide protests against Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte in 2020.
Following the death of President Benigno Aquino III on 24 June 2021, Bayan Ko was sung by mourners and supporters as the urn containing the late president's ashes was buried beside his parents at their mausoleum at the Manila Memorial .

[@cookyrae5397]

For me there is no comparison. The fact that both groups took time to learn our song and proudly sang it in public in their own interpretations and versions, make me appreciate them.❤️💖

[@boohsimon4726]

For me the USA is better in diction and arrangement than korea but regardless who is better hearing this song sung by other nationality is both move me to tears❤❤❤❤❤

[@millybucayu4148]

Thank you for watching. This song was arranged by my son who is a Dr. An M.D., M.P.H. on his Senior year at Stanford University in 2013. They are called Stanford University Talisman Accapella

[@nekolastkage]

Co'z the korea stick on the original rendition(or areglo), but they almost nailed the song. The only problem is the pronunciation. I think we Filipinos don't have silent letters all you have to do is speak every syllables and manage your tone. I think?!😂😂😂

[@deganztv]

Regardless... the two was amazing in their own rendition.. both are great choir

[@isoflavonessa7270]

this song goes deep down to my heart. As an OFW, missing the Philippines is inevitable

[@normaesquillo5463]

Wag mo muna problemahin masyado ang China kasi di pa naman nasakop ang katawan ng ating bansa.
